AND 



HERE IS SOMETHING ^^ 

 MORE TO THINK OVER '° ^^-f 



that the 

 outsider often knows more about your business 

 than you do ? Yes, actually knows more about 

 its weak spots, that is, he knows better why you 

 are not more successful. In other words, when 

 you are constantly so near your own interests, 

 it is often impossible for you to get the accurate 

 view others can. You get wound up in prejudice, 

 a habit, a rut. You know something is wrong, 

 but become powerless to locate it. We are not 

 only greenhouse builders, but we are trouble 

 finders. We are not authority on how to grow 

 things, but we do know the best house in which 

 the best thmgs grow, and how to build that sort 

 of house. Can tell you where your present 

 construction is wrong and build you a house 

 that will cut down running expenses, reduce 

 repair bills and put you in a position to 

 meet competition of the keenest. You need 

 us ! Write !

 come three pages 

 on "Planning and 

 locating your 

 Greenhouse" which 

 contains a good bit 

 of inlormation as a 

 money saver to you. 

 The next 36 pages 

 cover every con- 

 ceivable sort of 

 greenhouse suita- 

 ble for either pri- 

 vate places or insti- 

 tutions of various 

 kinds — these pages 

 start with a single ; ^ 

 compartment house / ' 

 18 feet wide and 33 

 feet 4 inches long, 

 and end with a 

 series of selections 

 covering ranges for 



growing every sort "■^■m^ 



of thing. There is 



a pauc on right benching, another on the heating question, and the last fourteen pages 

 contain the real meat of the catalog, and tell exactly what our Sectional Iron Frame 

 Construction is — each structural part is described and illustrated by a detail cut. 

 The various types of side wall constructions and different styles of houses are freely 

 illustrated. No pains have been spared to make this catalog not only a text book of 

 perfect construction, but a decidedly interesting book to read. The illustrations are 

 many and printed in the finest way possible. If the greenhouse question interests 

 you, and you contemplate erecting one, we want you to have this catalog. 



We make every part of a KTeenhouie 

 but the fflass. We sell any part.

What a clean cut, convincing proposition this is ! What a total absence of any 

 attempt to secure ornamentalness — yet how downright graceful and beautiful 

 every line and structural detail of this U-Bar construction is. Imagine a house of 

 other constructions with heavy gutter at the eave, and compare it with this curved 

 eave U-Bar house absolutely free of any obstruction, from ridge to sill. It is just 

 this freedom — the wide spacing of glass and unequalled lightness that makes them 

 the superior growing houses they are. We erected this range on one of the largest 

 estates in Newport and carried out the owner's wish to provide for additiors, by 

 framing in a part of the connecting passages which will fit the future houses, and 

 using them at present for side entrances. An 1 1 foot house, used for propagat- 

 ing, joins the potting room with the center compartment. But to really know 

 U-Bar strong points, go and see a house for yourself, or next best send for the 

 catalog. Pierson U-Bar Company, Designers and Builders U-Bar Greenhouses,
